How to complete the harpy quest in Baldur’s Gate 3

The Baldur’s Gate 3 harpy quest begins when you encounter the entranced boy, as well as a harpy that’s singing a luring song. Focus on the harpy singing the luring song to keep the boy safe. Several other harpies will join the fight, so be sure to have your best characters ready to deal with the flock.

We recommend using ranged characters to position on the cliffs. This will allow you to fire spells and arrows at the harpies without being swarmed. Abilities that stun or blind harpies will prevent them from singing, which will keep the boy safe. Keep at least one party member close to the boy for protection while the others maintain their advantageous positions.

Once you save the boy, he will provide you with a special phrase. Use this phrase to gain access to a hideout with other children. Although you don’t need to worry about this until much later in the game, it’s worth searching the harpies’ nest for hidden treasures.

In addition to some Bones, you can find a Ring of Colour Spray, a Bloodstone, and a Ruby Amulet. Another hidden chest can be found before the harpy-infested cove. You’ll notice some broken stone pillars. Use Jump to cross the pillars and Perception to locate the chest, which contains 50 Gold and a Ruby Amulet.

And that’s how you complete the harpy quest in Baldur’s Gate 3. Stay vigilant, and save the day in the latest instalment of the iconic RPG series. For more tips and tricks, here’s a few of the best secrets and hidden areas in Baldur’s Gate 3. If you’re looking to play another open-world game, here are the best games like Skyrim – we’ve picked a few RPG games, such as The Witcher, to keep you busy.
